Anyway ni first time raya without my father sob sob! To make it more worse, mom pun kena stroke just 4 days away from 1 syawal. Luckily it was a minor attack. She can't move her right body for about 24 hours +-. By Wednesday, she can walk to the bathroom/ toilet by herself , assisted with tongkat of course. But her right hand still can't do much, can't hold anything or pakai kain batik properly. When i reach home and salam her....she cried :(

My mom is a non-believer for hospital treatment and no 'tukang urut' on duty during Ramadhan but my sis manage to bring her to a clinic nearby our kampung..ok lah at least she get some aspirin. Staying in a hospital in 1 Syawal pun doesn't sound really exciting isn't it.

Anyway, our family continue the Raya preparation as usual.....with some errors which my mom was 'membebel' during malam raya and pagi raya heheh! Sorry mak ;)

So how was your beef and chicken rendang prepared??? Ours was slaughtered fresh in our backyard one day before raya. Ayam kampung uolssss!!! Sedap banget kannnn. My brother got the beef portion i think as early as 1st week of ramadhan and few days before raya. Not only beef ok...there's 4 legs in the fridge too. Anyway none of us know how to cook the legs except mom. So it was still there in the fridge when i left kampung to beraya in Tampin..huhuhu.

You know the routine, slaughtered, take out all the inner organs, boiled with hot water for few second just to remove the bulus, remove all bulus, chop chop and wash till clean....we took about 3 hours to do all this...phewww!

In red shirt is my brother in law, the lemang master, from cutting the bamboo tree until the lemang was cut and served. Mina was so impatient and make her uncle to give her the 95% cook lemang. Well 95% sebab dah boleh makan dah cuma tak cukup masak lagi le.
